Islamic Art and Architecture: From Isfahan to the Taj Mahal

this is a very large coffee-table book, but jam-packed with brilliant colour photos ... did quite a lot of research before buying, and damn fine pleased that I did buy it ... couldn't ask for better

The etxt is comprehensive and very readable; the photographs are suberb. All in all a magnificent way to increase our understanding of an inspiring culture.

good quality and informative book

I received this book as a present. Not only is the book filled with the most amazing photographs, it is also very beautifully written. Henri writes about the architecture of the region as well as informing the reader of the historical, art historical context. I hope to visit these regions and therefore place great value on this book,

A beautiful book- my father really enjoyed his gift.

I was given this book as a gift, and I love it. It's a fantastic book, with great photos and text is brilliant. If you like Asia, architecture and great photos this book is for you. It makes you want to book a flight to Iran and India and see the places for real.

イランのモスク建築に興味がありました。3年前、シンガポールのアジア文明博物館(Asian Civilisations Museum)の売店で、偶然この本を見つけました。しばらく眺めていると、若い店員さんが寄ってきて、「大変内容の濃い本で、学術的にもすぐれた本ですよ。」と熱心に勧められました。その時はあいにく変えずじまいでしたが、こうして今、やっと購入することができました。レビューにもありますが、写真が実の鮮やかで、多く掲載があり、また、実に丹念に、対象の地域の建築物を（有名なモスクだけでなく）調べてあることが感じられました。時間をかけて、じっくり読んで楽しめる本だと思います。また、これもレビューに記載がありますが、コストパフォーマンスもかなりすぐれている、と言えると思います。ありがとうございました。

Ein in jeder Hinsicht gelungenes Werk.

Lo compré porque despúes de visitar el Taj Mahal y Fatehpur Sikri quería saber más. No decepciona lo más mínimo. La edición muy cuidada, la fotografía de calidad.

Beautifully illustrated coffee table sized book. A visual treat with all the detailed and nice illustration of places and structures along Marco Polo's Silk Route (places like Samrkand, Isfahan etc.). Gorgeously built marks of ancient civilizations which I may not have a chance to visit in my lifetime, ergo - this book.
